    TLDR Liposomes better deliver minoxidil for hair loss treatment than niosomes.
    This study from 2007 investigated the use of liposomes and niosomes as carriers for dermal delivery of minoxidil, a drug used to treat hair loss. The researchers found that liposomes were more effective at delivering minoxidil to the skin than niosomal formulations and the control solution. The study suggests that alcohol-free liposomal formulations could be a promising approach for the topical delivery of minoxidil in hair loss treatment. Overall, the study concludes that liposomes and niosomes have potential as carriers for dermal delivery of minoxidil.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
